Toronto’s 18Karat will play host to Great White North Exhibition, the 11th annual national juried exhibition of jewellery inspired by and made in Canada.

On display from June 25 to July 30, the exhibition showcases designs from goldsmiths and metal workers across the country—both student and professional. The contest challenges designers to create a piece of jewellery inspired by some aspect of Canada. This year’s theme is ‘The Group of Seven.’

The call for entry saw 53 artists from across the country submit 60 designs, 25 of which were selected by a blind jury to be included in the exhibition. Students currently enrolled in a Canadian art and design college or university submitted 23 entries; nine made it into the student category.

Participating artists are:
